It is well known in the sports world, to a positive dopingprøve often entails imaginative explanations.
sometimes it works, the explanations plausible, other times they do not.
Where in the spectrum Marion Sicots lands is difficult for a layman to judge on the other hand, is the new.
Friday, it was clear that the French rider delivered a positive EPO test at the French championships 27. June - but she is awaiting the result of the B sample with serenity, for she feels she has done something wrong.
- I just want to say that I am innocent, and she says to Directvelo.com
- I am Now waiting for the result of the B sample. I have not done anything wrong. The found values are very low. I had my period, when I was tested, and the tester made a note. Women produce more EPO, when they have menstruation.
- I have never taken anything, and I hope that the truth soon comes forward. It is hard, for I have not done anything, and I would like to prove it. I have even borrowed money from my parents, for I will prove my innocence, says Doltcini-Van Eyck Sport-the rider.
She should have participated in La Course, which is the ASO's endagsløb, which will be held during the Tour de France, but her team pulled her out, since the result of the test was clear.
The 27-year-old frenchman was until the French championships, trained by Franck Alaphilippe, who is the cousin and trainer of Julian Alaphilippe. But she rule out the possibility that the cooperation has something with the test to do.
- It has nothing to with the test to do. Franck was employed by Deceuninck-QuickStep, and that meant he could not train me any longer, says Sicot, who points out that she only has met Alaphilippe a single time, and that all other training was done via e-mail.
